    1988 Aerostar

    OK I've got a question. My dad has an Aerostar van with the 3.0 in it. Was these also based on the Ranger platform? I'm thinking of dragging it home, since the trams went out on it several years back. I was wanting to maybe find a donor and do a 4wd swap and turn it into a camper setup. Anyone...

    Carrier Bearing

    Anyone know how much play should be in the carrier bearing on the driveshaft? Mine seems like it has about a 1/4 inch of play in it. Is that normal?

    When a tow truck cant get it done

    So today we had a 25 ton bus break down in the parking lot. The tow truck driver got here and couldn't get lined up due to the position it broke down. So I jumped in the boss's F350 locked in the hubs and away we went. Tow truck driver hooked his chain and Ford tough was put to the test...

    100% gas vs. Gas with ethanol

    In my area we have a few stations that offer 100% gas with no ethanol. It's a few cents higher than standard. Is this better to run in my truck? Is there any benefits? Just some questions. I thought that all new engines were designed to run a certain percentage of ethanol in the fuel.
